23rd to 29th July, 2018 (7 days)

Book this class

Sorry, this class has already begun!

This is the most often demanded cake class by our students - an intensive wedding cake course. During this cake class, you will work on three separate wedding cakes. You will work with both real cakes and dummies to create your masterpieces. Throughout the class, you will be supported in practicing key techniques and your teacher will be able to pin point exactly which skills you need to work more on. This is by far the best way of learning and avoiding developing bad habits in cake decorating which waste your time, effort and materials.
